Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back. And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

Republicans just shot down an amendment to their tax scam that would require the top .05 percent of American households to chip in just a measly 2 cents for every dollar of wealth over 50 million. You can't make this shit up. #USDemocracy

I get we're all numb to this but another way of looking at Trump pushing 25% auto tariffs is the world's richest auto executive trying to ban much of his competition

@marcelias.bsky.social: "There is a reason why Trump nominated Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth. He wants to humiliate these Republicans, because he knows that once they have voted for these folks, he will own them. They will not have a shred of dignity or standing left."

With today's comments by Mr. Musk at today's AfD rally in Germany - a film about how the actions of a person can indeed affect not just their contemporaries - but also their heirs for generations to come. I can't find this film online, but the BFI has links to Harlan's film "Jew Süss"

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Even after being threatened by Trump and racially harassed by the MAGA movement, Mexico has sent humanitarian aid and firefighters who are risking their lives to save U.S. civilians and homes during the LA fires. "We are a country of generosity and solidarity," Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum.

Khloe Kardashian is smack talking LA Mayor Karen Bass over the wildfires. In 2022, Khloe used roughly 101,000 gallons of water over the allotted limit during a drought. Her sister Kim Kardashian used 232,000 gallons over the limit. IN ONE MONTH. Bish needs to sit TF down.

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

In March 2022, Musk shitposts about challenging Putin to physical combat, exactly a month later journalists received evidence linking Musk to Jeffrey Epstein using Kung Fu practice as code. Now we know Musk has been in constant contact with Putin since then. #MuskIsCompromised #PresidentMusk #Trump

Cooper: Trump chose to attack you, blame you for this. Newsom: People are literally fleeing. People have lost their lives.[Trump] wanted to politicize it… I stood next to Biden. And he had the backs of every single person in this community. He didn't play politics, didn't try to divide any of us.
